I am a licensed Clinical Social Worker with more than 20 years of experience in direct practice and leadership. Much of my work has focused on supporting children and families through trauma and daunting times. I help clients recognize their strengths and move forward with crisis intervention, practical tools, education, helpful resources, and compassionate care. I believe healing can begin with feeling understood, supported, and less alone.
I take a generalist approach so I can meet you where you are and respond to your unique needs. I am easygoing, lighthearted, and simply a regular human being. I work to empower you toward change, encourage you to move through discomfort at a manageable pace, and help you accept and learn from mistakes. Together, we can build on your strengths and create meaningful, lasting progress.
In our first session, I will listen deeply and create space for you to be fully yourself. I will validate and normalize your experiences while gently challenging you toward growth. Using a client centered, solution focused, strengths based approach, we can begin addressing anxiety, depression, grief and loss, stress, burnout, self esteem, boundaries, or major life changes. We will identify a helpful starting point and next steps.
